products description :
Interleukin-13 is a pleiotropic regulatory cytokine, which shares many of the properties of Interleukin-4. IL-13 is produced primarily by activated T lymphocytes and acts via specific cell surface receptor complexes. Its biological activities include the stimulation of B-cell proliferation and differentiation and the regulation of inflammatory and immune responses. Our recombinant Interleukin-13 comprises a 112 amino acid fragment (21-132) corresponding to the mature Interleukin-13 110R form of the protein and is expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells. This cytokine is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation and differentiation. It up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype switching of B cells. This cytokine down-regulates macrophage activity, thereby inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This cytokine is found to be critical to the pathogenesis of allergen-induced asthma but operates through mechanisms independent of IgE and eosinophils. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL4, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL4. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
Function: Cytokine. Inhibits inflammatory cytokine production. Synergizes with IL2 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis. May be critical in regulating inflammatory and immune responses. Subunit structure: Interacts with IL13RA2. Subcellular location: Secreted. Involvement in disease: Defects in IL13 may be a cause of susceptibility to allergic rhinitis (ALRH) [. MIM:607154]. Allergic rhinitis is a common disease of complex inheritance and is characterized by mucosal inflammation caused by allergen exposure. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the IL-4/IL-13 family. Caution: It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-15 is the initiator. Sequence caution: The sequence AAA36107.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended.The sequence AAA83738.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended.The sequence AAB01681.1 differs from that shown.
